It's official CAMS is GO!

[red900ss]

I attended the CAMS State Council meeting in Lithgow today along with carlo and Majanal.

The Council accepted our application with the result being Skylines Australia NSW is now affiliated with CAMS.

:jump: :headbang: :band: :rave: :Party: :headspin:

Any financial members can apply for competition licenses and we can get insurance cover for events.

If you are interested in knowing more about CAMS go to http://www.cams.com.au/default.asp, the link for license info is here.

For the basic Level 2S license go here to read about Speed Events and Motorkhanas. These are the typical club level events that we would be going along to. Initially we will be contacting other clubs and asking if we can come along and join their events.

If you have any questions that can't be answered on the site drop me an email/pm and I'll do my best to answer it.

That's great news guys!

So all club members are now full members of CAMS, right?

Are our current SAU member cards accepted as CAMs member cards?

[B-Man]

A big thanks to Dino for organising and following through on this.

Also to Carlo and Dan for their part.

This is a big step forward for the club and I'm sure other members and potential members will benefit from the work put in from the above mentioned folks,

Cheers you guys !

Yes.

I guess :confused: Please explain?

[Duncan]

Well, when registering for events (race, sprint, hillclimb etc) you need to show your current CAMS membership card, which is issued by the club you belong to. Only thing is, both clubs I've been in (Honda and Improved Production) had same membership cards with CAMS logos on them.

Just wondering how that will work for us, I can check direct with CAMS if you like, or maybe you guys have some sort of liason contact.

Another q, what do we do to get CAMS insurance for our events, do we have any rules/guidelines we need to follow, or can we just declare our Fast n Furious drive in night an SAU event.

[Duncan]

Oh, and can the club now issue L2S CAMS licenses? How will they be administered?

Sorry for all the q, I just think this is a really important step forward for the club, and it would be great for members to understand more about what it means.

[Kel]

...specially if we can now race in state championship rounds under club membership

(big yay by the way, thanks Dino & the guys)

[PranK]

WOOO HOOO!!!

[Silver-Arrowz]

Duncan,

That course we did at Finlays, what license does it allow us to obtain?

I'll check with CAMS on monday, I have no doubt it's changed and what you say is correct. Maybe we can just put the CAMS logo on our cards now.

That's what I was learning about today. They are going to clarify just what exactly the requirements are. There's a 6 week lead time to get a permit (if required, and it probably will be). Go to the CAMS NSW link and read the April Tale Spin Newsletter for a bit more info.

Oh, and can the club now issue L2S CAMS licenses? How will they be administered?

Go to the link in the first post for the license info. It's probably just as easy to send the form straight back to CAMS rather than to us. It will definately be processed quicker. L2S is the basic one required for speed events.

Sorry for all the q, I just think this is a really important step forward for the club, and it would be great for members to understand more about what it means.

I agree, keep 'em coming.

Good timing too - can announce at the SAU NSW qtrly meeting tomorrow.

Dare I say, the first BIG (HUGE) milestone for the club after 12+ months of operation.

Well done again - and very proud/pleased to be a member of such a professional & affiliated organisation.

That is the "Observed License Test", lets you get full C3 circuit racing license.

Hillclimbs, sprints etc just require L2S which SAU can now issue

I think that you have to get C3 within 12 months of course - so y'all better hurry up if you don't want to do it again!

[Tosh]

Great news guys

good work to all involved and I look forward to the future with the club

[Roy]

This may be the happiest day of my life... my poor old car is not going to know what hit it, hillclimbs, supersprints etc, etc.

A serious not of thanks and appreciation to those who have put in the time and effort for th club.

[Majanal]

Yeah was really great to hear them say that we had our affiliation. Thanks to Dino for his hard work on this... now I gotta get my head around it all.

[kabab]

Likewise... who do I hand this form to?

[red900ss]

The little man who lives in the red box with Australia Post written on it.

[Majanal]

I'm sure you should have included some glasses with those forms Dino... LOL

[Merli]

You legend Dino
